Ironsword, the Portuguese cult underground epic metal force, have finally revealed the first details about their upcoming album, Servants of Steel, to be released with Moonspell Fernando Ribeiro's powerhouse label Alma Mater Records on January 24th 2020.
Recorded at the Pentagon Audio Manufacturers with Fernando Matias in Lisbon, Portugal, the band teamed up with legendary producer Harris Johns (Helloween, Voivod, Kreator, Sodom), mixing the Barbarians’ new magnum opus! The result is beyond spectacular and it’s Ironsword like you never heard it before, with the same barbaric drive but with a top-notch sound that will take their and Epic Metal fans by storm! Servants of Steel will not only signal how alive the Portuguese metal scene is, but also deliver a blistering Heavy Metal record the world of steel will need to hear, four years after the band's much-acclaimed None but the Brave record. Today we get to hear a first single to the track IN THE COILS OF SET, watch Ironsword's brand new lyric video HERE!
"This is definately the most challenging album ever written and stands out from all previous works.“ Guitarist and vocalist Tann comments. "Everything that is quintessentelly IRONSWORD is present here and out in full force."

Very close in quality to their second album for me. It shows that Wytch Hazel keep delivering highest quality hard rock/heavy metal.
There's no weak track on here and it's an absolute joy listening to it.

Perfect entry-level trad heavy metal. This genre never clicked with me no matter who I listened to. Iron Maiden, Atlantean Kodex, you name it. I had just begun warming to Khemmis, and this might have just made me a fan. If you're like me and most traditional heavy metal does nothing for you, listen to this. You won't regret it. An epic journey, front to back. porcelainheart-

Having set an amazing track record until now, we definitely know what we can expect of them at this point.
This album also does not disappoint and they actually do deliver a bit of an update to their formula here. This LP has a very upbeat and warm feel and is catchy as hell with so many legit sing-along tracks. Void Worship
